FAA Figure 20Sectional chart excerpt (Norfolk, VA)FAA-CT-8080-2H · Sport, Recreational, Private & Remote Pilot supplement
A
By utilizing the B4UFLY mobile application.
B
By contacting the FAA district office.
C
By obtaining a briefing via an online source such as: 1800WXBrief.com.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
The caution box in Figure 20 tells pilots to check NOTAMs for the unmarked balloon. NOTAMs come with a preflight briefing from Flight Service, which AIM 5-1-1 and 7-1-2 say can be accessed online at www.1800wxbrief.com (or 1-800-WX-BRIEF), or from the FAA NOTAM Search system. FAA district offices do not provide NOTAM briefings, and the B4UFLY app is a situational-awareness tool, not a NOTAM briefing source.
